0:00.0	I'm Allison Nathan and this is Goldman Sachs Exchanges.
0:09.0	This is part three of Outlook, 26, our special three-part series examining the trends that
0:15.0	will define the global economy in the coming year.
0:18.2	In part one, we got an overview of the global growth picture, and in part two, we took a closer look at the economic outlook for the U.S., Asia, and Europe.
0:26.6	Today we have a tour around the capital markets as we look at global equities,
0:30.6	currencies, interest rates, commodities, and the implications for portfolio strategy.
0:38.8	Let's start with Peter Oppenheimer, Goldman's chief global equity strategist.

1:17.8	come into play. Valuations are quite high, given that equities have performed well in recent years,
1:24.5	but overall, we're expecting it to be a good year and a year for equities that's
1:29.4	generally driven by underlying profit growth rather than continued valuation expansion.
1:35.2	And if you look at your broader work, Peter, you know, you often talk about the four parts
1:39.1	of the equity cycle. So despair, hope, growth, and optimism. We are clearly in the optimism part of the cycle at this
1:47.2	point. But is the next step not despair? Are you concerned about the risks around the positive view?
